False: Photos show US vehicles attacked by Iranian drones in Syria in April Two photos of burning vehicles have been shared more than a thousand times in social media posts that falsely claim they show "US military vehicles attacked by Iranian drones in Syria on April 8, 2023". The photos were in fact related to incidents in Nigeria and Iraq respectively. AFP found no credible reports to show there was an attack on the US military in Syria on the day as claimed in the posts. (Source: Agence France-Presse - AFP)
